thedailywhat: Case Of The Mondays of the Day: Veteran JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater got fed up with his job after a heated argument with an “uncooperative passenger” on a just-landed plane led to profanity being hurled in his general direction, so he did what anyone in his situation would do: He cursed out the entire plane on the PA system, walked to the door, inflated the emergency slide, shimmied down, and stormed off. From the NYT’s City Room: One passenger got out of his seat to fetch his belongings from the overhead compartment before the crew had given permission. Mr. Slater instructed the man to remain seated. The passenger defied him. Mr. Slater approached and reached the passenger just as he pulled down his luggage, which struck Mr. Slater in the head. Mr. Slater asked for an apology. The passenger instead cursed at him. Mr. Slater got on the plane’s public address system and cursed out all aboard. Then he activated the inflatable evacuation slide at service exit R1, launched himself off the plane, an Embraer 190, ran to the employee parking lot and left the airport in a car he had parked there. He was later arrested at his home in Queens on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. [cityroom / photo: myspace.]
